Subject: [PATCH net v2] ipv4: fib: fix data-race and stale genid check around nh->nh_saddr
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2026 15:15:03 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260915071503.465875-1-xiaolinkui@126.com> (raw)

From: Linkui Xiao <xiaolinkui@kylinos.cn>

fib_select_multipath() compares nexthop_nh->nh_saddr against the flow
source address with no lock held, while fib_info_update_nhc_saddr()
stores a new value from another CPU as soon as the preferred source
address of the egress device changes.

Commit 195374d89368 ("ipv4: fib: annotate races around nh->nh_saddr_genid
and nh->nh_saddr") added WRITE_ONCE() on the store side and READ_ONCE()
in fib_result_prefsrc() after syzbot reported

	BUG: KCSAN: data-race in fib_select_path / fib_select_path

but it only covered that reader. fib_select_multipath(), reached from
fib_select_path(), is a second lockless reader of nh->nh_saddr and was
left bare.

Moreover, nh_saddr is only meaningful when nh_saddr_genid matches
dev_addr_genid, as established by 195374d89368. fib_select_multipath()
skips that validation, so it can score a nexthop using a stale source
address and skew the ECMP selection.

Annotate both reads with READ_ONCE() and add the missing genid check,
mirroring fib_result_prefsrc().

Fixes: 32607a332cfe ("ipv4: prefer multipath nexthop that matches source address")

V2:
- point Fixes: at 32607a332cfe, which introduced the bare reader
- add the missing genid check as suggested by Eric Dumazet
